On October 3, 1993, the streets of Mogadishu plunged into chaos as U.S. forces clashed in a deadly battle that would be remembered as the battle of mogadishu/ Black Hawk Down. The roots of the battle can be traced to Somalia's civil war, the fall of a dictatorship, and a humanitarian crisis that prompted international intervention.
The U.N. launched Operation Restore Hope to provide relief, but the U.S. attempt to capture warlord Mohamed Farah Aidid escalated into a deadly battle.

Mohammed Aidid actually had a son, Hussein Farah Aidid, who had immigrated to the USA and served as a US Marine, later working with the US mission in Somalia to help locate his father. After his military days, he returned to Somalia to help rebuilt the military and serve in politics. He has made numerous unsuccessful bids to be president so far.

It is really complicated I agree they really don’t seem to do much good but part of the problem is you can’t be an enforcer without actually having jurisdiction over a place, they also have the issue of being a playing ground for big powers to do their dirty work. It is a shame in theory they could do so much good if they could just do their job helping aid civilians in need but civilians are part of a war strategy so it will never work

American forces when outgunned perform badly, even when matched with the enemy. It explains with they over spend so much. Magadishu, Tongo Tongo great examples. A special forces operator shouldn't require anything more than his rifle and a few hand granades, maybe an RPG. Anything more than that is too much. If you need anything more than that you've no business calling yourself special anything. Special forces are supposed to take on the most difficult missions that require skills beyond a regular infantry units.

You said the American death toll was 18, the largest since Vietnam war era is not accurate. On February 25, 1991, an Iraqi missile attack in US base in Dhahran Saudi Arabia killed 28 US soldiers and wounded 100-150 soldiers. Also ion the battle for Khafji from 29 January to February 1st when Iraq attacked the Saudi town, 25 American soldiers were killed, 2 injured and 2 captured.

Being humiliated? How did get that from perhaps the most one sided battle in Somali History. Operation Gothic Serpent was a tactical success. No way did the Somalis come close to humiliating TF Ranger, despite their sheer numbers, Rangers and JSOC SMUs held their ground, secured the HVTs and withdrew back to the airport. Those are facts. "Describing Delta’s actions in the Battle of Mogadishu as a failure is even more at odds with the reality on the ground. Mark Bowden’s in-depth account, Black Hawk Down, depicted the Unit’s operators as awe-inspiring soldiers whose technical proficiency, training, and courage under fire went a long way toward preventing what otherwise might have been a far more catastrophic result. Master Sergeant Paul Howe, a former Delta operator who took part in the fight, considered it a most decisive victory for the United States, calling it “one of the most one-sided battles in American history" (Martin, Shaping the World From the Shadows) Envy the country with heroes, I say pity the country that needs them.

@Nope_handlesaretrash Politcal outcome and the battlefield outcome are 2 different things. Like the Tet in Vietnam. In somalia, the CNN effect, look it up. To humiliate insuniates a military defeat, something like Dien Bien Phu. A tactical withdrawal is very different from "a retreat", and the objective was not to take Mogadishu, but to secure HVTs. It's not opinion, though I bet the Somalis wished they could humiliate TR Ranger. FYI: they did come back, with Mohammad Farids son ( a former US marine who served in Somalia at that time even returning to lead the transitional government). JSOC and SF with be in the country during GWOT training local CT and actively targeting local cells. Bara Bara mate

It was a failure as the US troops were technically the best in the world. Yet, they didn't know of the terrain and made many errors that gave leverage to the Somalis. For instance, they kept on attacking the wrong compounds. When going to hunt someone and making these errors, your enemy is aware of your mistakes and is able to prepare an offensive against you as that general had the field advantage. When you have 17 members of your elite troop dead and their bodies dragged for the world to see, you lose any psychological advantage that you may have had. Because those images went around the world, for everyone in this planet, the American troops were cornered in Mogadishu and lost that battle. No matter how you try to explain the tactical gains they had, the US lost the psychological advantage.
@ssgtomen621

@mimilaure5774 Mate, perception isn't reality. How the world perceived it at a time, for a time, doesnt change facts on the ground. Dont get me wrong, it was a strategic failure in the end 'cnn effect'and all, but operational success isn't measured by 'mistakes', or the 'psychological impact', it's determined by outcome and other performance traits. Making navigational errors in 1993 where GPS wasnt wide-spread, aren't mistakes, on enemy home turf no less, with a fluid situation that kept evolving due to birds being shot down and new rally points being established doesn't take away the eventual success. Challenges arised, things went wrong, but they not only did they adapt, they secured the objective and inflicted heavy casualties on an enemy that had numerical advantage, controlled the time and day of the meeting and home turf advantage, while surrounded with non-combatants. Within 24 hours, c squadrons were replaced with a rotational squadron, and TF Ranger was combat effective again, ready to go out again. There was no 'humiliation' or being cornered and running away during the battle. It may have been perceived strategically, America pulling out, but that's not on TF Ranger's account.

@@ssgtomen621 How many wars have been won without GPS? common now! The U.S had allies on the ground and should have leveraged their knowledge instead of arresting them. They went to Somalia arrogantly without doing the proper research and without connecting with the local allies. As a result, not only their men died, but the U.S was publicly humiliated when the bodies of those soldiers were dragged. Once again, even if they regained their footing in Somalia, they were publicly humiliated there.
